Roomba 960 by iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980, the most recent of a series of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a staple for any modern home. This model comes with a HEPA-filter to aid those suffering from allergies. It also has a large battery that can clean for two hours, and return to its dock automatically when the bin is full.

It also has the feature of smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to determine the areas in your home that need attention and create a cleaning path around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does an excellent job of maneuvering around toys placed on the floor, or furniture legs that stick out from under the furniture. It also has a sensor that will snap Roomba to its real-world location if it begins to wander away from its original location.

iRobot also added an additional set of rollers beneath the Roomba that do not have bristles, and are therefore more likely to withstand knots than earlier models. They're also a bit higher than the older rollers and are able to fit under low couches and robot vacuum black friday beds and are designed to allow this model to move more easily across a variety of flooring types.

The Roomba 980 is distinguished from other models with a high-end price tag by its new dirt detection feature, which makes use of cameras to identify dirt that has been embedded. This is a significant improvement over the previous version which relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room, and then clean the area three times, at different angles.

The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on both carpets and hard floors. It scored very well on carpets with low pile and on mid-pile. It did a good job of removing pet hair, but it had a difficult time with very thick and long pet fur that was stuck together.

The Roomba 980 is still one of the best performing robots we've reviewed despite the slight limitations. It's also less expensive than other top-of the-line models. It comes with many of the features you'd expect from a top model but does not have all the fancy apps or smart home integration that you'll find in other top models.

The iRobot Roomba is simple to set up and start working immediately. After removing the battery pull tab and yellow bin insert from undercarriage, all you need to connect it to its Home Base docking station or a wall socket, hit its large "Clean" button and let it go to work. It will automatically return to its dock when it is running out of battery or is full of sand. There are also indicators on top that show the bin is empty, or when it requires recharging, or if it loses Wi-Fi.
